Chooosing your bridesmaids dresses

  • Not sure where to start? Begin by browsing through the beautiful bridesmaids dresses online. This is the best place place to start as you’ll see what’s around and be inspired without having to walk from shop to shop or travel any distance.
  • Take the time to consider the shape of your bridesmaids’ figures before deciding on a particular style. Their dresses should complement your wedding gown, but should also make the most of their individual shape, size and colouring, which may be very different.
  • The colour of their gowns or accessories can be matched to the waistcoats or ties of your best man, ushers, venue and table décor to give a stylishly co-ordinated look. Or for more a less matched look, go for different coloured gowns in the same style or different style gowns in different colours.
  • If you’re planning a themed weddings such as vintage or black-tie you can go wild with outfits to fit your theme. Anyone arranging a summer wedding on a shoestring budget should head for the high street for colourful summer dresses off-the-peg.
  • Accessories might include a wrap or jacket, shoes, jewellery and hair accessories and again colours and styles can be co-ordinated with your own bridal gown, shoes and jewels.
